Integral Futures
In our foray through various foresight methods we found an interesting practice called Integral Futures. Borrowing from the philosopher Ken Wilber, Integral Futures talk about the place of the practitioner/facilitator and the participants in a foresight exercise. How much do our own histories and personalities influence what futures we might envision?
In the words of Floyd, Burns and Ramos:
Methodology, though, is about more than the tools used: it involves careful attention to the stance taken by the practitioner in the use of tools to enact knowledge and understanding.
